Description

This is a quick recipe for a Thai-inspired coconut-curry soup with shrimp and chicken.

Ingredients

1/4 cup red curry paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups coconut milk
3 cups chicken stock
2 limes, juiced
1 lime, zested
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound shrimp
1 (14 ounce) can bean sprouts, drained
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Stir red curry paste and olive oil together in a saucepan over low heat and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2 Pour coconut milk, chicken stock, lime juice, and lime zest into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, at a simmer for 10 minutes.
3 Stir cherry tomatoes and cilantro into the soup; bring mixture again to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
4 Stir shrimp, bean sprouts, and cooked chicken into the soup; cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper.
